On Monday evening, it was confirmed that the reason was due to alleged problems with "child sexual exploitation and abuse" on the platform, which managed to slip through Tumblr's filters.

Presently, the Tumblr team is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and hopefully will be able to restore its iOS app soon enough.

It later explains that child porn content, which had not been previously flagged in the "industry database", was discovered by Tumblr officials during a "routine audit".

Social networking app Tumblr has been removed from Apple's online App Store after child pornography was found to be visible through the app.

"We immediately removed this content", it said, and added: "Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms". While the company didn't say whether it's purging NSFW blogs as part of its efforts to make sure its platform is free of child sexual abuse images, the timing coincides with its removal from the App Store.

Tumblr, like other websites, scans the images users upload against that database.

CNETreports that Tumblr was briefly blocked by the Indonesian government earlier this year over pornographic content on the platform. South Korea has also asked it to do a better job of moderating adult content on the service.

Apple's App Store guidelines strictly prohibit apps that share content dealing with child sexual abuse and require them to have content filters that flag those types of material.
